When speaking with Kailyn, Gypsy revealed that her newly released memoir has been a work in progress for quite some time.

“I’ve been working on it for about three years, the portion that was the final pieces was editing and that came after I got released,” she revealed. “It was challenging at times because I had to kind of ask for information from family members because like I know my side of things, but I don’t know the full picture, so I had to talk to family I had to talk to friends to get a lot of information I didn’t know about.”

“Me and my co-authors wanted to convey a sense of urgency because ea lot of people can’t put themselves in the mindset of where I was at with the abuse and how desperate I felt,” she explained of some of the raw things she talked about in the book. “So having a statement like ‘She was going to cut my throat,’ that statement stands out a lot.”

“It transports the readers into my mind and emotion,” Gypsy said on the podcast. “And so that’s why it was so important to say that and then go into the details of what I meant by that.”

Not only did Gypsy speak on her traumatic past, she revealed that she had undergone anesthesia “over 100 times,” but luckily she has not noticed side effects or longterm effects. “Going under anesthesia when I was a kid, I didn’t ask questions,” she told Kailyn. “So like all these side effects and all of the dangers were told to my mom and not to me” since she was a minor.

Gypsy also opened up about her past addiction struggles. “It started off with ‘Okay they prescribed me this pain medicine oh, and it makes me feel different. It makes me feel kind of numb,'” Gypsy said. “And so after that point is when I started to slowly take more and more and more and abused it.”

Gypsy is a woman whose tragic and complex story captured national attention, shedding light on the severe psychological abuse she endured and the events that led to her mother’s murder.

Born in 1991 in Louisiana, Gypsy grew up under the control of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, who fabricated and induced illnesses in her daughter as part of a condition known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Dee Dee convinced doctors and the public that Gypsy suffered from a host of serious medical conditions, including leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and epilepsy.

As a result, Gypsy was subjected to unnecessary treatments, surgeries, and medications. Confined to a wheelchair and isolated from the outside world, she lived a life of fabricated illnesses and emotional manipulation.
